Is private equity all bad? Of course not. It helps a lot of companies launch, survive, and prosper in ways they otherwise wouldn’t be able to. Even companies run by gays! There’s nothing inherently “bad” about private equity. Except the “profit at any cost” motive. What rubs me about Mehlman’s position is that once again we see his beliefs are shaped by what benefits him personally and directly. He was anti-gay when it was convenient and was getting paid for it. Now he’s pro-gay now that it’s more convenient for his personal life. If Mehlman were working for a company bought out by a private equity firm that called for his job to be cut, something tells me he wouldn’t be singing the praises of the cutthroat industry.

In the video below, Mehlman argues why the current economic reform and regulation is bad. Bad for businesses! Do you know the type of people who generally have a problem with economic regulation? Not the average consumer, that’s for sure.

I’d love to see Mehlman put his weight behind something that really helps workers, businesses, and the economy: legislation that protects queer employees from being fired for sharing a single trait with Mehlman.

Mehlman also taped a segment about why Republicans should support gay marriage, a position he took after taking the position that gays should be discriminated against, because fags don’t deserve rights. Shut up, Ken. You’re a nightmare, and your clock has run out.

That face is way beyond “unattractive” – and that, for me, is justice enough.

He’s truly an all around ugly person, emotionally, intellectually, and physically. Why are you publicizing this fuck?

He literally and figuratively likes to get pissed on.

he doesn’t suck. In order for him to suck, some guy would have to give him access to their dick and NO ONE is that hard up.

@randy: I wish his fuck buddies would come out and spill alllllll the beans. I bet he’s a nasty nasty pig! I bet he puts Dawsons 20 Load Weekend to shame!
This bitch is totally a foot-tapper! You can just see it in his creepy eyes!
This is possibly the sole Gay I wouldn’t be sad to see has taken their life. This country and our society as a whole would be fine without. Just sayin’.

@Pitou: OK, so maybe I’m out of touch, but I had to google the Dawsons 20 load weekend…..Now I’m sick to my stomach. You have got to be kidding me? In any case, I’m sure our boy Ken is into way worse stuff than that!

This guy is an enemy to all the good that could possible happen to Americans trying to get ahead and seeking equal rights. He’s a terrorist!

He’s a traitor to the gay community (and humanity), and he will never be forgiven.

This fuck is waste of DNA. He never apologizes for his extremely ugly action against himself, LGBTQ community and basic human rights. I am a very forgiving person, but for this shithead, I admit it so hard to forgive.

Mehlman will be greeted by the warm arms of Roy Cohn one day, in Hell.

Hmmm, he thinks the republican party should support marriage equality? Is he delusional like the Log Cabiners or what? Not even the democratic party endorses it as official policy.

What Ken did should be unforgivable.
But if this Bitch can help me get my civil rights, then yay for him.
We can crucify this little bastard after our rights have been gained.
Remember queens – use him now, crucify him after.

I hate when Republicans boast about their values, as if they are the only ones who have them. So, Republicans value “freedom” and the “value of community”… but Democrats don’t like freedom, and don’t value community? Sheesh!

Ken Mehlman, like most people, has made some mistakes in life and is now trying to effect positive change in this country – especially in regards to gay rights. Instead of pilloring this man, the gay community should show some forgiveness and appreciate the fact that he is in a great position to support LGBT causes financially and through gathering support among his conservative friends. Equal rights is the end game.
